Boris put it very well.
I get really bored of people trashing other peoples bikes. What's the big deal. Anything with 2 wheels is fun.
One thing that does bug me in the mags though is headlines like 'long term review' and when you read more it's apparent that they've done about 1,000 miles on it.
I've taken at least 3 different bikes around the clock now and I wouldn't really rate anyone's opinion on a bike until they've done about 30,000 miles or more on it. By then they'll at least have some idea on maintenance, weak points, good points etc etc
